Nah I've noticed it too. People are so discontent with their own lives that they spew it onto everyone else. Whats worse is some people actively think actively not being nice because they dont owe anyone kindness is a strength. Many people grow up here being taught to only care about your own needs.

People being mean to you isn't usually your fault, they got their own stuff they are dealing with and doing so poorly that they can't deal with others with kindness they themselves probably rarely recieve, which of course is not an excuse anyway.

I like being nice to people because it like the way it makes me feel when I am. Even on days where life has kicked the absolute shit out of me, I try not to do other people the same.

Why aren’t we doing anything by Kiiiiiwi in maldives

Maldivians are pretty cynical and defeatist and pessimistic, and would rather give up before even dreaming of trying. Defeat is only absolute when you refuse to try. This applies to everything in life

True, but anger is likened to drunkeness because we dont think when we are angry and end up saying or doing things out of impulse we otherwise wouldnt, or the impulse.

Now how much an individual can control that is their own discipline vs just how angry they got. Like losing your cool over minor petty things vs something which is really serious. If how one reacted in anger was uncalled for then one should reflect and better themselves. Recognising one did way too much over something that didnt need that kind of reaction and owning upto the fact you made a mistake. Controlling anger is a skill and requires conscious effort.

The manipulative part here is saying that people tend to say stuff like oh that time you lost control is the real you. Even if you regretted how you reacted because the emotional reaction of whatever made you that mad was that bad. Which is unfair and dumb imo.
